Bill > HB3093

This bill modifies existing Missouri law to allow manufacturers of all types of alcoholic beverages, not just wine, to obtain a direct shipper license to ship their products directly to residents of Missouri who are at least 21 years old for personal use. Previously, only wine manufacturers could apply for a direct shipper license, and they were limited to shipping up to two cases of wine per month. This new legislation expands the types of alcoholic beverages that can be shipped directly, including distilled spirits (like whiskey and vodka) in quantities up to nine liters per consumer per month, and undistilled alcohol (like beer and wine) in quantities up to eighteen liters or two cases per consumer per month. The bill also outlines requirements for these direct shipper licensees, such as obtaining the proper licenses, labeling shipments clearly to indicate alcohol content and the need for an adult signature upon delivery, and paying applicable excise taxes. Additionally, it establishes a licensing process for carriers who will transport these alcoholic beverages, requiring them to verify the age of the recipient and obtain a signature upon delivery. The bill defines key terms like "alcoholic beverage," "manufacturer," and different types of alcohol to clarify its scope.
